Web based email "harvesting"
| Title |
Web based email "harvesting" |
| Detailed description | The setting is collecting private archives, more specific web based emails. It should be possible to automatically harvest emails from web based email accounts. The system should scale as the number of users increase. The system should be able to harvest only parts of a web based e-mail account. It should be possible for the donors to start a e-mail harvesting (to the library) by passing their credentials (login and password) for their e-mail account to the system. The file format of the harvested e-mails could be HTML or plain text. The attachments of the emails can be in their original format. |
